TWISTED TALES FROM SHAKESPEARE has a subtitle supplied by the author for the benefit (it is only fair to assume) of his readers: "In which Shakespeare's best-known plays are presented in a new light, the old light having blown a fuse, together with introductions, questions, appendices, and other critical apparatus intended to contribute to a clearer misunderstanding of the subject."
This is Richard Armour's inimitable take on six of William Shakespeare's plays: Hamlet, Macbeth, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Romeo and Juliet, The Merchant of Venice, and Othello. Plus a brief introduction to Shakespeare's life, Elizabethan Theater, the Sonnets, and a quick tackling of the issue of the authorship of the plays.
